Cooling Tunnel

Cooling Tunnel

The Cooling Tunnel, equipped with a three-zone cooling system, will receive the hot-filled bottles from the filler. Every zone will be kept at a temperature that is higher than the ones that come before it, with the last zone having the lowest temperature—which is almost exactly room temperature. There will be a freshwater delivery system in addition to a steam injector system to maintain the temperature in the first zone. Both are managed via a heat-cool digital temperature controller. This temperature controller will lower the temperature and add cold water if the temperature rises above the set level.

The Spray system is made from perforated stainless steel sheets so that water spray covers the entire width and length. An air knife is positioned at the machine’s outfeed to remove extra water, preventing it from building up on the bottles. A 1200-liter tank built into the tunnel collects overflow hot water from the cooling tunnel when fresh water is injected into it. Plate heat exchangers circulate this hot water, bringing the temperature down to 35 0 c. Like a filling piping water system, the tunnel will be connected via a circulating pump. In the cooling tunnel, we utilize an MCC-made plastic chain and corresponding sprocket. One piece of stainless steel makes up the main body.
